Protected by a coral reef, Nyali Beach serves as a wide, white sand beach that's part of the Mombasa Marine Reserve. The site offers diving and snorkeling opportunities. Consistent side-shore winds make this beach a popular kite-surfing and sailing spot, and there are beach volleyball nets under the shade of palm trees. Snorkel and see a colorful variety of marine species such as crabs, starfish, and cucumber sea urchins. Sea turtles and migratory birds like crab plovers may also keep you company here.

Very clean and beautiful atmosphere for a public beach! Lots of family friendly crowds and activities. There are many lifeguards for safety and the minimal pollution makes the beach a great cheap way to spend your day! There are also many food options as well as locals who can take you out on a boat for a reasonable price.

It's a clean beach, not highly populous and there are places you can leave your prized possession for safe custody, of course at a small manageable fee.

Nice beach considering proximity to Mombasa downtown. Sometimes the sea weed can get too much

Love this beach as it changes so much…sometimes long stretches of white sand, sometimes covered in seaweed. Beautiful to look at, amazing colours, great to swim or paddle even when the tide is out as so many pools remain.
